I have been hearing a lot about dim gauge lighting, car not starting well, and stereo system running down battery.

So what is the best battery to get?

Something that would provide hours of listenting to loud music without having to turn the engine on. And preferrably a battery that is powerfull enough to handle all the auto's electronics, 3 LARGE LCD Screens, AND a full-fledged power-hogging computer.

Also something that will last more than just a year or two !

Any recommendations? I have heard something about a "yellow-top" battery?!?

 

Get the optima. It rocks!!

 

optima yellow top is the best in the market especialy if you have some stereo equipment if not then just save yourself the money and get yourself a red top

yellow top $180

red top $150

but make sure you dont get the blue tops since they are strictly for marine use and are not meant to charge in short intervals like car batteries and they will get riuned

 

I have an excel sheet from Optima with information on all their batteries. Either email them and get it or if you send me an email, tim@performanceIX.com i will send it to you.

Where can I find the Optima yellow-top battery, Sears maybe?

 

sears might have it if you have a J.I. Joes done there thats where I got mine from

 

Ted,

Do you know where I could purchase optima battery in L.A. area?

 

is optima the manufacturer or the model?
is it an independent operator or just another brand of johnson controls or exide, etc.

 

OPTIMA is a brand, and they have 3 diff color coded models.

Dennis,

get them from either summitracing.com, they only charge $6.95 for s+h, no tax. i think summitracing would be cheaper.

 

I had the same problem. I purchase a red top optima battery and two 1 Farad Caps. It is working beautifully...

 

Thanks for the info, Will.

 

racingaristo,
i know the owner of a shop in hacienda hts. and im gonna ask him to see if they can get it for me for at a lower price.. my battery is about to go and he checked it last time and he told me to change it at my earliest convenience. <NEVER > did u want me to get a price check for u?



what are Farad Caps?

 

How much is the Lexus battery?

 

my dealer told me ~$130. i would take the OPTIMAs

 

You can try DC Battery Specialists in Miami. I got my red top Optima for only $106. Contact Dave " the battery guy" at 305-759-4321 or sales@dcbattery.com
